The green waste lorry will return to the Coastal Park car park in Newtonhill tomorrow. It will be there from 8am to 11.40am every Saturday until 4 November. I’ve also provided posters for the noticeboards around the village.

The seasonal green waste service at Asda at Portlethen will not be returned however, as the Badentoy household waste and recycling centre is now open. Its hours are from 9am to 4.30pm on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays (though closing 30 minutes early that day).
